Two generations of tragic love make Smilinâ Through one of the screenâs great romances. The story begins in 1868 England, when John Carteretâs fiancée is shot dead on the coupleâs wedding day by a rejected lover aiming at the groom. Flash forward to 1915, after the devoted John has raised his fiancéeâs niece Kathleen as his own. Kathleen falls in love with an American â the murdererâs son â and the past sweeps back to haunt the present. Film legends Norma Shearer, Fredric March (both in dual roles) and Leslie Howard (whose character ages 50 years) find every tear and triumph in this Best Picture Oscar® nominee (1932-33) that is âlovely, simply lovelyâ¦an example of romantic melodrama at its bestâ (The Movie Guide).
